use a fb sorc pure fire. for stats put enough str to use items no dex all rest in vita some in energy.
max fire ball, fire bolt , meteor , fire mastery and warmth(at the end).
use hoto or occy, vipermage , shako , lidless or sanc for more res , mara , 2xsoj , frostburn or magefist , water walk, arach if u can. get fire gc's if u can too and life sc's.

I think your best bet against immunes is to get a holy freeze merc and build him up..
I'm making a meteorb and all I can say is @ lv18 or so (11 base) .. orb probably isn't going to cut it against any of the stronger immunes, particularly in Hell. >_> I can handle nm fine no merc though.

with a meteorb sorc you want to max meteor, fball, fire mastery, orb, and then 10 points or so in cold mastery. then you can put other points in pre reqs/other needed skills (tele/static/some kind of cold armor or whatever). my 88 sorc does pretty fine w/hell (i usually play solo); uh shako, tals ammy, tals armor, tals belt, eschutas, lidless, travs, magefists, 2x nagels, yeh so its not really expensive gear or anything. i also have a merc; nm act 2 defensive, havn't really gotten him all suited up but for now he uses 2os eth bonehew (don't know wut 2 put in sockets yet, perhaps amn for ll or shael for quicker attack?), eth vamp gaze, and skullders.

uh, don't let them hit you lol. jk, your merc will be able to act as a meat wall that will take some of the attack off you and on them. uh, u can put some points (don't remmeber how many) into dex to get a higher blocking rate, if you ever get in a stuck position with monsters after your a$$ teleport can save your life there; basically defense is never usaully the high point of any sorc build, so just be careful in the hellish world of diablo 2 =P

I hate occy auto tele.
